TECHNICAL FIELD

BACKGROUND

Energy conservation and emission reduction are the urgent needs of the world to cope with climate change. In order to reduce the impact of energy consumption on the environment, it is necessary to further reduce the consumption of fossil energy and increase the development and utilization efficiency of clean and renewable energy sources. However, renewable energy sources, such as solar power and wind power, have the characteristics of randomness, intermittence and fluctuation, which have disadvantages such as difficulty in connection, high cost and difficulty in control when generating electricity into the power grid, and will adversely affect the power quality and reliability of the power grid.

Nuclear energy is an efficient and clean energy source, which is increasingly accepted by the public. Increasing the proportion of nuclear energy in the installed capacity of electricity is one of the effective methods to reduce hazy weather and air pollution in China. However, due to the fluctuation of public acceptance and the vacillation of government policies all over the world, the future of nuclear energy is also full of uncertainties.

The system comprises three power generation modules: a nuclear reactor module, a wind power generation module and a solar photovoltaic power generation module. The generated power is collected in a power controller, transformed by a transformer and delivered to the power grid. The system is designed to solve the disturbance of wind power and solar power generation to the power grid. In the present disclosure, the stability of input power in the power grid is realized by using a plurality of regulators to adjust the output power of the reactor according to the fluctuation of wind power and solar power. On the one hand, the method needs to balance the output of three kinds of energy sources, and has high requirements on the capacity of the regulating system.

The outlet of high-pressure heater 11 is communicated with the inlet of the reactor 1. The high-pressure cylinder 3 and the low-pressure cylinder 5 are connected with a nuclear power generator 13 through bearings, respectively. The solar power storage system consists of a solar absorber 18, a heliostat 19, a high-temperature molten salt tank 20, a low-temperature molten salt tank 21 and a molten salt pump 22. The heliostat 19 is arranged outside the solar absorber 18. The outlet of the solar absorber 18 is communicated with the inlet of the high-temperature molten salt tank 20 through a molten salt pipeline. The outlet of the high-temperature molten salt tank 20 is communicated with the tube-side molten salt inlet of the superheater 2. The tube-side molten salt outlet of the superheater 2 is connected with the inlets of the low-temperature molten salt tank 21 and the molten salt pump 22 in sequence. The outlet of the molten salt pump 22 is communicated with the inlet of the solar absorber 18. The wind power generation system comprises a fan 14, a speed increaser 15, a wind turbine 16 and a control system 17. The fan 14 is connected with the speed increaser 15 through bearings. The speed increaser 15 is connected with the wind turbine 16 through bearings. There are signal paths between the control system 17 and the fan 14, and between the speed increaser 15 and the wind turbine 16. In this embodiment, the energy balance system consists of a hydrogen production system 23 and auxiliary components. The nuclear power generator 13 is connected with the inlet of a power controller 26 through a power path. Two outlets of the power controller 26 are connected with the hydrogen production system 23 and an inlet of a transformer 27, respectively. The wind turbine 16 is connected with the other inlet of the transformer 27, and the outlet of the transformer 27 is connected with a power grid 28.

The superheater 2 is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The molten salt in the low-temperature molten salt tank 21 is driven by a molten salt pump 22 to enter the solar absorber 18 and then enters the tube side of the superheater 2 through the high-temperature molten salt tank 20 after being heated. Saturated steam generated in the reactor 1 enters the shell side of the superheater 2 and then enters the high-pressure cylinder 3 to do work after being heated by the high-temperature molten salt on the tube side to become superheated steam, and the molten salt cooled on the tube side returns to the low-temperature molten salt tank 21.

Superheated steam enters the steam-water separation reheater 4 after entering the high-pressure cylinder 3 to do work. The separated liquid water enters the deaerator 9 through the drain pump 12. The remaining gas continues to enter the low-pressure cylinder 5 to do work. The low-pressure and low-temperature steam discharged from the low-pressure cylinder 5 enters the condenser 6 to condense into liquid water, which is driven by the condensate pump 7 and enters the low-pressure heater 8 to be heated.

The work done by the high-pressure cylinder 3 and the low-pressure cylinder 5 is used for the nuclear power generator 13 to generate electricity;

The fan 14 is driven by wind power to do work and is used for the wind turbine 16 to generate electricity after being accelerated by the speed increaser 15. The control system 17 partially adjusts the fluctuation of wind power generation according to the feedback action.

The power controller 26 distributes the electricity generated by the nuclear power generator 13, most of which is used for smoothing the fluctuation of power generation of the wind turbine. The electricity is combined with the electricity generated by wind and then enters a power grid 28 after being transformed by a transformer 27. The other part of the remaining electricity is used for hydrogen production and hydrogen storage in the hydrogen production system 23.

In this example, the reactor 1 uses integrated small modular reactors (SMR). The solar power storage system uses a tower-type solar power storage system. A solar absorber 18 is fixed on the top of the tower. A certain number of heliostats 19 are installed around the tower. High temperature is generated into the wall of the solar absorber 18 collecting sunlight on the top of the tower by the heliostat 19 to heat molten salt through the solar absorber 18. The hydrogen production system 23 uses a copper-chlorine cycle hydrogen production technology.

In the actual operation of this example, SMR 1 keeps the rated full power for operation. A part of heat is used to drive the high-pressure cylinder 3 and the low-pressure cylinder 5 to work. The generated electricity is used to smooth the fluctuation of wind power generation, and is also used for copper-chlorine cycle hydrogen production, thus improving the effective utilization rate of nuclear power. The solar power storage system transfers the absorbed solar heat to the saturated steam generated by the SMR through the superheater 2. The saturated steam becomes superheated steam after passing through the superheater 2, and enters the high-pressure cylinder 3 to do work by expansion. As the steam temperature rises, the power generation efficiency of the reactor is improved to a certain extent. With the introduction of the solar power storage system with random fluctuation, nuclear power generation not only improves the power generation efficiency, but also smoothes the random fluctuation of wind power generation. The electricity generated by the nuclear power generator 13 is adjusted and distributed by the power controller 26. Most of the electricity combined with the electricity generated by the wind power generation system is used for power supply to the demand side, and the excess electricity is used for hydrogen production and hydrogen storage in the hydrogen production system 23.

In this example, the energy balance system adopts hydrogen production device, but in fact, other thermal energy systems such as a seawater desalination device and a biomass energy storage system can be adopted according to actual use.
